Introduction 


^tttttLEN  this  committee  lirst  began  its  wurk  of  selecting  i'ov 
J^m  the  benefit  of  those  who  buy  children's  books,  the  most 
desirable  of  the  ''recent"'  publications,  it  felt  that  in  spite 
of  the  occasional  appearance  of  a  Ijook  of  real  merit,  the  general 
run  of  publications  represented  rather  low  standards,  or  no 
standards  at  all.  It  also  found  that  the  I)est  of  the  new  books 
were  in  many  respects  better  than  most  of  the  older  ones  that 
had  been  acceptable  to  children  and  approved  by  adult«  for- 
a  generation  or  more. 

The  marked  superiority  of  certain  of  the  new  books  w«' 
attributed  at  the  time  to  a  better  understanding  of  child  psy- 
cholog}^  on  the  part  of  the  writers;  and  the  improvement  is 
to  be  observed  in  an  increasing  number  of  books  intended  for 
young  people.  This  effect  is  no  doubt  a  part  of  the  general 
tendency  of  the  recent  past  to  apply  scientific  methods  to  the 
solution  of  all  kinds  of  problems,  and  this  tendency  is  further 
indicated  in  the  notable  improvement  in  a  class  of  books  that 
are  concerned  with  introducing  the  young  reader  to  the  world 
of  nature  and  of  man's  control  over  his  environment.  The  point 
of  view  in  these  books  is  not,  to  be  sure,  as  "new"  as  that  of 
the  advanced  scholars  in  the  various  fields  of  research,  but  it 
is  in  decided  advance  of  the  books  that  the  adults  of  the  present 
generation  had  in  their  own  childhood.  ^loreover,  the  wonderful 
inventions  and  appliances  of  our  times  inevitably  find  their  way 
not  only  into  the  machine-made  tales  of  adventure,  but  into 
the  more  serious  and  more  reliable  books  of  interesting  and 
readable  information. 

The  economic  and  social  developments  of  the  past  genera- 
tion have  also  influenced  children's  books,  not  so  much,  how- 
ever, in  the  fiction  as  in  the  books  frankly  designed  to  get 
reliable  information  about  the  world  of  work  and  occupations, 
in  contrast  to  the  "'inspirationar' — and  frequently  forced — 
stimulations  to  ambition  and  effort.  It  is  possible  for  young  folks 
to  learn  something  of  the  actual  conditions  in  various  fields  of 
human  activity  instead  of  being  misled  into  plans  for  careers 
m  a  make-believe  world  that  no  longer  exists,  if  it  ever  did, 
such  as  an  earlier  generation  of  children  had  as  perhaps  tlieir 
sole  guide,  so  far  as  reading  is  concerned.

Selected  Books  for  Children 


We  are  again  called  upon  to  deplore  the  fact  that  really 
excellent  books  are  allowed  to  go  out  of  print  and  to  make 
way  for  less  valuable  books  with  a  view  to  meeting  a  supposed 
demand  for  novelt}\  In  making  the  present  cumulative  selec- 
tion it  has  been  necessary  to  omit  some  of  the  very  best  books 
from  each  of  the  earlier  lists,  because  they  are  reported  by  the 
publishers  as  being  "out  of  print/'  although  in  a  few  cases  we 
have  repeated  the  titles  in  the  expectation  that  single  copies 
might  be  still  available  in  various  book  stocks,  and  in  the  hope, 
perhaps  rather  faint,  that  an  "effective  demand''  might  induce 
the  publishers  to  reprint  some  of  them. 

During  the  war  there  was  at  first  a  decline  and  then  almost 
a  cessation  in  the  issuing  of  high  class  books  for  children.  But 
after  the  armistice  there  seemed  to  be  a  rapid  development  of 
energy  on  the  part  of  the  writers  and  publishers,  so  that  in  1919 
the  proportion  as  well  as  the  actual  number  of  books  of  merit 
was  unusually  large.  But  this  condition  appears  to  have  re- 
sulted from  the  enforced  curtailment  of  publication  during  the 
war  and  from  the  corresponding  accumulation  of  excellent  books 
— for  the  high  average  of  last  year  has  not  been  maintained. 
Nevertheless,  there  are  indications  of  new  forces  at  work  in  the 
gathering  of  material  and  its  organization  for  the  young  reader. 
The  few  excellent  books  of  the  season  are  of  very  high  quality  and 
the  promise  is  for  a  steady  improvement  of  available  reading  for 
children. 

The  application  of  psychology,  previously  mentioned,  seems 
for  the  most  part  to  be  limited  to  the  making  of  books  for 
younger  children,  for  the  fiction  available  for  boys  and  girls 
in  their  teens  does  not  show  the  same  relative  improvement.  On 
the  other  hand,  there  are  increasing  efforts  in  utilizing  the  lives 
of  notable  men  and  women  as  material  for  children's  books, 
with  every  indication  of  success.  Biography  is  gradually  work- 
ing its  way  down  toward  the  nursery. 

It  is  impossible  to  judge  of  the  desirability  or  suitableness  of 
a  book  from  its  appearance,  or  its  price,  or  even  from  the  stand- 
ing of  its  publishers.  If  it  is  not  feasible  for  the  purchaser  to 
examine  carefully  each  offering  that  he  would  consider,  it  is 
necessary  to  make  use  of  annotated  lists,  or  to  seek  competent 
counsel  in  some  other  form. 

It  is  not  to  be  expected  that  any  list  of  books  could  serve  as  a 
standard  for  all  children.    While  it  is  desirable  to  encourage  as 


Selected  Books  for  Children 


far  as  possible  the  use  of  books  of  the  higliest  literary  quality,  we 
must  not  overlook  the  fact  that  there  are  many  children  who 
can  never  acquire  a  liking  for  the  best.  Rather  than  discourage 
familiarity  with  books  altogether  in  such  cases,  it  is  wiser  to 
select  such  as  would  i)e  the  most  profitable  under  the  circum- 
stances. But  even  here  it  is  not  sufficient  to  say  of  a  book  that 
it  is  harmless ;  we  must  demand  that  every  book  have  a  positive 
value.  Even  if  it  is  intended  primarily  to  entertain,  it  may  at 
the  same  time  broaden  the  child's  vision  and  refine  his  taste. 

The  descriptions  and  age-limits  given  must  be  used  with  ref- 
erence to  individual  needs.  Many  a  ten-year-old  child  can  make 
profitable  use  of  a  book  that  is  ordinarily  appreciated  by  children 
of  fourteen  years  or  more.  Relative  maturity  in  general,  and 
also  special  maturity  in  a  particular  field  must  be  considered. 
Thus  one  child  is  capable  of  using  rather  advanced  books  in  his- 
tory, w^hile  being  at  the  same  time  backward  in  nature  lore. 

The  list  herewith  submitted  is  a  cumulative  one,  containing 
the  books  listed  by  the  committee  in  1910,  1912,  1913,  1914, 
1916  and  1917.  It  is  not  a  complete  list.  It  is  merely  a  selec- 
tion from  among  the  books  published  within  the  last  few  years. 
We  did  not  have  access  to  all  the  new  books ;  in  the  course  of  the 
last  twelve  years  (since  the  committee  began  its  work)  we  ex- 
amined carefully  some  3,000  volumes  which  were  sent  us  by 
various  publishers.  The  list  is,  therefore,  a  fairly  representative 
one  and  will,  we  trust,  be  found  helpful  as  a  guide  in  the  selec- 
tion of  recent  books  for  the  young  folks. 

The  selection  represents  not  merely  the  tastes  and  opinions 
of  the  few  members  of  the  committee,  but  also  of  a  number  of 
women  and  men  who  very  kindly  assisted  wath  their  reading  and 
criticism  of  the  books ;  and  we  here  take  the  opportunity  of  thank- 
ing them  for  their  valuable  help. 

To  those  publishers  who  were  kind  enough  to  submit  their 
books  for  review  in  this  report,  the  committee  wishes  to  express 
its  thanks.
